Ingame - Loading screen will appear frozen as it maxes out CPU. Leaving the game to load for 5-10 mins results in it finally going ingame.

Just played through the first mission on 0.0.28.15363 and it's definitely playable by now. I didn't encounter a single crash, just two minor issues, both of which may be related to my settings, rather than actual emulation issues.
1. The sound got a little choppy towards the end of the mission
2. Some effect sprites were not properly scaled.
HOWEVER: I was playing in 2560x1440 with double vblank (which didn't double the framerate as I had hoped, but it might explain the sound issues).
Any crashes and rendering issues I've encountered before (disappearing models in cutscenes mostly) were not present anymore.
Well finally got as single "PPU Trap" crash on my replay of the first mission. But that's been the first crash in 3 hours, so IMHO it almost doesn't count.
I've found that setting the minimum sprite scaling resolution to 640x640 fixes all issues related to resolution scaling.
Increasing the Vblank to 200% and applying the 60fps patch also generally works, but it introduces some minor issues in the cutscenes.
Didn't have any major sound issues this time either. I've slightly increased the audio buffer size to 140ms, maybe that was enough.
Here's a video of the first half of the first mission for reference:
Video (MP4, 1080p, h264)
Here's the config_BLES00259.yml used. There's probably a whole lot of compatibility options enabled there that are not actually needed, but it works.

Just finished the single player campaign with Stub PPU Traps: 1 and no further crashes... no visual glitches either.
I can confirm the single player mode is completable start to finish.

In case anyone is interested: I made a few stub movies so that I wouldn't have to rewatch the title sequence every time I wanted to try a new config:
http://video2.tapper-ware.net.dest.at/Ba...ummies.zip
Just extract them to your Bad Company folder (save the original PS3_GAME\USRDIR\Output\ps3\movies folder first if you don't have a backup)
Some of those settings are questionable/placebo.
6 Preferred SPU Threads is effectively the same as auto.
Spurs threads at 6.... why? Leave it default, changing this option often causes issues esp when lowering it (which can help perf on low-core count CPUs).
Interesting that Relaxed Xfloat ran that well for you, in most games it causes major issues. I checked it for a few mins and seems to work well.. added to wiki. Hard to even determine if its any faster though as even with 60fps patch im just locked to 60 nomatter what.
Post a log/video of the game, with rpcs3 version and log file and we can move it to playable.
